Frontflip.

1. [Required] Wear a helmet and back protector, and try it first into an airbag or on a trampoline.

   You rotate head-first toward the ground, so don't make your first attempt straight onto snow

2. Prerequisites: you can hit a straight air and land stable, you can flip forward on a trampoline, and ideally you've done a backflip.

   If your body isn't used to the rotation direction, you'll freeze in the air

3. Approach with your upper body fairly upright (spine straight) and knees softly bent, weight even over the middle of the board.

   Carry the same speed as a backflip and don't scrub speed before the lip

4. Keep your knees lightly loaded through the approach, then extend both legs at the lip to drive straight up.

   Keep your eyes on the sky past the nose and don't tip the upper body forward yet — tipping early leaks the upward drive and kills your height

5. The instant your legs are fully extended and you leave the lip, tuck your chin to your chest, send your head down and forward, and fold your upper body forward from the hips.

   Your spin (angular momentum) is set in that one bow off the lip; you can't add to it once airborne, so start it right as you pop

6. As you fold, pull both knees toward your chest and grab the front of your shins with both hands, balling up tight.

   The smaller you make yourself, the faster you spin for the same effort

7. When the slope comes into view (about three-quarters around), release your hands and extend your knees and hips to open up.

   Opening slows the spin, which brakes you so you don't over-rotate

8. Land with your weight directly under the board, bending ankles, knees, and hips together to absorb the impact.

   Leaning slightly toward the front foot helps stop you pitching forward. Bring your eyes back to your direction of travel
